Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Hours of Work and Rest Periods (Road Transport) Convention, 1979 (No. 153) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1989)

The Committee notes the Government's reports, which were received in September and November 1995 for the period between July 1990 and August 1995. In September 1995, the Inter-Union Assembly of Workers-National Convention of Workers (PIT-CNT) transmitted to the Office observations made by the National Union of Transport Employees and Manual Workers (UNDTT) concerning important aspects of the application of the Convention. According to normal practice, the communication from the organization of workers was transmitted to the Government so that it could consider whether to make its own comments on the matter. The Committee decided to defer the examination to its next session and trusts that the Government will provide it with its own comments on the observations made by the trade union organization.
